Greets!

Hi! I've just edited an ebook on Antarctic Exploration - a topic that has fascinated me for years - and rather than watch my book get published and then disappear without a trace I thought I would at least mention (plug!) it once on this forum of Antarctic Aficionados! Its called "The Antarctic Exploration Anthology: the Personal Accounts of the Great Antarctic Explorers", and it's available on iBooks and Kobo, (and soon on the Kindle).

Thanks. Completely understand removal of the link. I saw that you have some of the e-books available to download for free on the site, but I hasten to add they are in a very different format to the Anthology that I have very definitely just "Edited"!

While I applaud you for making the texts available for free, the ebooks from Gutenberg generally contain hundreds of spelling and punctuation errors, which I have painstakingly 'edited' from my ebooks, as well as adding a huge selection of original expedition photographs, maps, illustrations, appendices with meteorological measurements, bespoke covers, and active tables of contents.

This has been a labour of love more than anything else, but I can understand your trepidation, as I have admittedly only just joined the site. I hope I can contribute to this forum in the future! Regards.
